Thank you.

Well, I felt pretty fast.

In three weeks, you're going to be racing with pros from all over the

Pretty fast isn't going to do it, Andrew.

Let's try it again.

It's time.

Don't let off until you hit that line.

Okay?

Then, get back on the throttle here.

Okay?

And let's wait until later.

Whoa, sweetheart, are you okay?

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

Let me check it out.

Guys, guys, guys, can we talk about this at dinner? Right now, Andrew really

needs to stay focused.

Dad, I was just checking out the trophy.

Honey, wouldn't it be okay if we took just a little break? Listen, everyone,

we've been over this.

Winning this series means a full factory sponsorship.

We get bikes, parts, money, everything we need to make a run at a national

title. Now, do we really want to risk that because we didn't get all the

practice in that we could?

Dad's right.

Better get back to work.

Besides, you're giving up too much speed on that last turn.

Uh, hey, didn't I have another son around here someplace?

Huh? Yeah, yeah, he's up in the garage.

Uh, Jason, honey, come on in. Jason is up for dinner.

So, how is Andrew doing?

He's getting there. He's getting there. Uh, we've still got a lot of work to do

if he's going to be competitive.

Well, as long as he tries his best, I'm sure he'll be fine. Isn't that right,

honey? Yeah, yeah.

Jason!

a new top end in my bike. I mean, I could feel the victory, you know? It was

like from the tips of my fingers.

Well, I'm surprised you can feel anything with all that stuff you got all

you. Now get inside and change. Oh, don't sit on anything.

What? I'm not even that greasy. What are you talking about?

Looks like you're getting faster.

Yeah, I felt pretty good today.

Dude, you are ripping me.

Just think how good you'll be if we do this every day until the first race.

Every day?

I was racing.

I got up at dawn, and I rode until it was so dark I couldn't see. My father

to drag me inside.

Well, let's hope it doesn't come to that. I'm sure the neighbors have

signed a petition to have us thrown out of the homeowners association.

See, I'm not trying to force you to do anything you don't want to do, Andrew.

I'm just saying, once you get out there, you see how fast those other guys are,

you're going to wish you'd listened to the old man.

Elbows. As much as I would love to sit here and talk about motocross racing all

through dinner, if somebody doesn't say great soon, the food's going to be cold

to eat.

Uh, honey.

Lord,

we thank you for the plentiful gifts we are about to... Hey.

Wish I could have been there today.

Sure.

What teenage guy wouldn't want to spend the day with 1 ,300 cheerleaders?

Yeah, that's true.

Oh, this came today?

There's a great article in my graph.

Hey, you kids are going to have to fend for yourselves tomorrow. Your dad and I

are going into the city for the day. Just try not to get in too much trouble

while I'm gone. Oh, keep an eye on your little brother.

Night. Night.

They're going to be gone for a whole day.

How sick is that?

The usual?

Twelve left.

Lizard is the winner's choice for a week.

Hey, aren't those my boots?

Look, I had to borrow your spares.

They're too big. I figured you could use the advantage.

Thanks.

No way.

Are you guys going to race?

Oh, Dad's going to freak if he finds out. Which is why it's a good idea if he

doesn't, right? This is killer. All right.

All right, I've been here.

You want to stop?

Remember that time you took Mom's weave rocker apart and you couldn't put it

back together?

Yeah, try multiplying that times like a thousand.

What did the doctor say?

Well, thankfully, it's not broken.

Dad, this wasn't Annie's fault. It was an accident.

Which never would have happened if you two hadn't been fooling around.

She was helping me practice, Dad.

You said yourself I should be out there every day.

I meant with my supervision.

I've told you before, Andrea, I don't want you racing. It's too dangerous.

Okay?

Come on, let's get your brother home.

Dude, I had you.

Okay, maybe now's not the best time to be talking about that.

It's true, though.

I saw it.

Dad,

where are you going?

Oh, I'm flying overseas to meet with some European riders.

Well, Dad, why are you going all the way to Europe?

Hey, somebody's got to ride that bike if we're going to survive without losing

our shirts.

Unfortunately, all the decent U .S. riders have already been signed to other

teams. But, Dad, it's Carson Racing. There should be a Carson on the bike.

I would have loved that, sweetie.

What about me? Why can't I race at least until Andrew's leg heals?

Andrea, I appreciate the fact that you want to help, but this isn't a joke.

Who's joking? I can do it.

Yeah, Dad, you've seen Andy. She rips. I know she does, Andrew, but this is the

pros. But, Dad, you... Andrea.

Look, I realize this is partially my fault for letting you ride as long as I

did, and for the life of me, I can't figure out what I was thinking.

But, and I want to say this again, okay?

I want you to start concentrating on things that a 15 -year -old girl should

concentrating on.

And that does not include racing motocross. But, Dad, you need my help.

No, what I need is a real professional rider.

Okay? That's what I'm going to go find.

Okay?

Honey, we've got to get going. Come on.

Andrew, take care of yourself, my man.

Uh, that... And Jason...

When we take something apart... We put it back together?

Correctly. Yes.

Andrea, do me a favor. Stay away from anything that has two wheels and a

Okay? Bye, honey.

Most complicated day of my life.

screaming.

My instinct tickets came fifth row. I've got to call Kelly.

And once again, Jason Carson's world record hopes are dashed.

Kelly, it's Andrea.

I got the tickets.

They just came.

Okay, so here's the deal.

I've got two tickets, and you've got to ask your dad if you can go. You've got

to let me know as soon as possible, okay?

Uh, honey, instinct is going to have to wait a minute. I've got to use the

phone. Come on.

Honey, you can call her back.

I have to call you back.

Okay. Okay.

Bye.

The series is up two weeks.

No way.

The first race is this Saturday.

Keep reading.

And if you miss the first race, you can't qualify for the cup?

How random is that?

Well, your father has left the first hotel already, and I have no idea how to

get a hold of him.

Well, what about Telegram or FedEx?

I wouldn't even know where to send it.

Well, I guess we'll just have to wait and pray he calls.

I am reveling in this epic NSYNC moment where our entire family unit is

crumbling beneath us.

I can't believe this is happening.

There's no way Dad's found someone yet.

Doesn't matter if he did, because he'll never make it back in time.

Clearly, it's up to me to fix things.

Why is it up to you?

Because it's my fault.

I mean, Dad quit his job to dedicate his time to racing. Look, look, I told you

already. This is not your fault, okay?

Look, will you just admit it?

If it wasn't for me, you would be upstairs right now packing for the first

Think I can do it?

Do what?

Race.

For the cup.

Totally. Of course, there's a long list of reasons why we'll never find out.

The main one being your chick.

You did not just call me a chick.

Sorry, girl.

Look, guys would tear you up if you went out and tried to race.

I mean, it doesn't matter how good you are. They'd do anything to beat you.

Yeah, but they'd have to keep up with me first.

Hey, check that out.

She really thinks she's going to go out there with us?

I'd say that's a yes.

Come on, come on.

You want me to change them?

You're fine, Jason.

I'll do it later.

I'm just trying to help.

Jason.

All right, I know.

Don't tell Mom.

Andrea?

Oh, hi, Mom.

Hi.

What do you have there?

Oh, just some old clothes, you know. I was going to donate them to the poor.

Oh. Well, good for you, sweetheart.

Oh, of course he was, sweetie.

Andrea Rose, what in the world?

I tripped over myself, you know me.

Was that before or after you took clothes to those poor, underprivileged

motocross racers?

If I didn't keep them in my shift, I would have smoked them.

I just need new boots.

I already told you what would happen if you went out and tried to race with a

bunch of guys.

I mean, imagine if those were actual pros and you tried to run with them.

What are you trying to say? If I was a guy, this never would have happened?

Fortunately, that's exactly what I'm saying.

Mom? Hmm?

Jimmy Balls called this morning, said those parts we ordered were in.

I figured we might as well get things ready for when Dad gets home.

Um, okay, honey. I've got errands to run anyway, so... Uh, Andrew Rose, do you

need anything while we're in town?

I think she went to the mall with Kelly.

Oh, all righty. Well, let's hurry then. I want to get home just in case your

father calls.

Let's find your little brother.

What up, dude?

What's up, Andy? See, did you just, like, teleport over here, man? I just

with you on the phone.

You did?

Dude,

we just hung up. Those parts you ordered?

The parts!

Right, yeah.

I'm just fired up about getting my motorcycle rented again.

Oh, yeah, I heard, man. Gnarly crash. Yeah, not enough to keep you out of the

cup series, though. Nah, dude, I'm all over it. Killer.

Yeah.

Okay, I'll go get the parts for you.

Anything else you need?

I wanted to check out some boots.

Boots. Right over there.

Hey, Jimmy, how's it going?

Oh, dude, I know my answer, Jack, but you did not have those crutches a second

ago. Wouldn't it be kind of tough to get over here without them?

You're messing with me, right?

Are you feeling okay?

I get it. You've been spraying air filters with the windows closed again,

haven't you? No, well, yeah.

Um, yeah, maybe that's it, yeah.

So, you find any boots?

Uh, no.

I don't need boots.

Just the parts.

My mom will be over from next door in a minute to pay for them.

Okay, yeah.

Do you mind if I use the bathroom, Jimmy?

No, bro. It's all yours.

Help yourself.

Hey!

You little annoying dicks.

Shouldn't you guys be in school or something?

It's summer.

There's no school.

Yeah?

Yeah, well, maybe you should be to fully review the reading thing.

Yeah. What's going on, man?

Dude, you're freaking me out. You know that?

You're freaking me out.

What's wrong, Jimmy? All right.

First you don't have your crutches, and then you do. All right? Then you don't

have the boots, and now you want the boots.

You know what? I forgot something. Can you just save these for me?

Yeah, help yourself, man. I just got a new prescription or something.

Emma? Didn't you just... Didn't he just... Jason?

Jason! I love you, honey.

Dude, what is... What is with this disappearing crutch trick, man? You're

killing me.

Oh, you know what? Fine, forget it, okay?

Whatever. Okay, your total... It comes to 550 and 25 cents.

How many parts did you order?

Well, $500 worth.

Bro, the boots were $300.

Boots? I already told you, I don't need any boots.

These aren't even my size.

Let me put this back for you, Jimmy.

Oh, yeah, thank you. I appreciate that.

Jimmy, how much does it come to without boots?

I think changing is an understatement.

What happened to your hair?

This is some deep -seated, psychological father -daughter reaction thing, isn't

it? Look, admit it. This could work.

I show up dressed as you, acting like you, race. We stay in the series, and

as soon as Dad comes back, we switch back writers.

There's so much wrong with that plan.

Name one thing.

How about Mom?

She'll freak. She'll absolutely freak. Not to mention if Dad finds out, he's

going to ground us. You know that?

Neither one of them is going to find out, are they, Jason?

Why do you always look at me when you say that? Okay, Jason, Andrew, come on,

guys. We've got to get going.

Come on.

Jason, who's your brother just talking to?

I didn't see anyone.

Uh,

did he call?

Not yet.

You know, part of me hopes he will, and the other is praying he doesn't so I

don't have to break the news to him.

Um...

I'm going to go into town tomorrow with Cindy and some of the girls early. Is

that okay?

Yeah, I suppose.

Can I go? No.

You'll be bored.

I'll probably be gone before you wake up, and I don't want you to worry.

Well, thanks for the consideration.

By the way, honey, where were you today? We missed you.

I was at the mall.

Did you buy anything?

Some clothes?

Yeah, she's trying out a new look.

You should see it, Mom.

Yeah, you'd hardly recognize her.

Okay, somebody want to tell me what's going on around here?

Nothing, Mom.

Everything's fine.

Well, you know I will find out eventually.

It's just a matter of time.

know anything.

I promise.

Mom.

I brought you those boots that you said you didn't need.

Thanks.

Dude, I don't get you, man. You know, how are you going to ride and stuff?

Because yesterday you were like on crutches. I think you were, weren't, I

know, you're messing with my head.

Just don't worry about it. Yeah. I'm ready to ride, and I really appreciate

this. Look, you've got your driving glasses, right?

Yeah, check them out.

You know,

if I remember correctly, the mall doesn't open until 10, and I

don't think they let motorcycles inside.

Hey, Mrs. Carson.

How you doing?

I'm sure that Andrew appreciates everything, but this is one race.

He's not going to be riding in.

Okay.

That was weird.

We should probably get your bike out of my truck.

I got other places to go.

What's going on here?

I cannot believe that you were actually going to go through with this. Not to

mention the fact that you were going to get into a car with Jimmy Bottles. He

had his driving glasses.

Besides, I wasn't going to sit back and do nothing.

Mm -hmm.

And just look at your beautiful hair.

Tell you one thing, we're going over to the salon first thing and see if there's

anything that they can do with it.

Now, go put the motorcycle back in the garage.

Now do you know why I always look at you?

I'm sorry, I cracked.

You've seen her. I mean, she should work for the CIA or something.

Mom.

Why did Andy race?

Because girls don't race motorcycles.

Well, they do, but not with boys.

It's just not done.

But in school, they were teaching us about women's rights.

And Mrs. Cavison was saying that today, there aren't any jobs that women can't

do. You know, and how great it is that we've come so far and everything.

So, I guess I don't understand why Andy can't race.

I mean, she's as good as those guys, right?

I don't want to talk about this.

Go upstairs, make your bed.

Are you?

Well, then, go upstairs and quickly close away, neatly in their properties.

Oh, Geneva, don't even go there.

Just go back and fold your laundry and think about something else.

Explain something to me. Is this all because you feel guilty about what

to your brother, or is this something you really want to do?

Which one will get you to let me go?

We're not even talking about that right now. I just want to know the truth.

Look, I really want to ride, and I can win.

Do we still have time to get there? Are you serious?

Serious.

Well, yeah, if we go now.

Well, if we're going to do this...

Might as well do it right.

What made you change your mind?

You think I was going to let you save his family single -handedly and take all

the glory?

Honey, you know me better than that.

The first time I met your dad was at a racetrack.

The smell always brings back those wonderful memories.

Hey, look.

Tears brought his mommy.

You know what?

I better go up and check in.

I'll be back.

Take your time, honey. I'll just stay here and get everything organized.

Riders, you have 30 minutes to register.

If you have it, please do so immediately.

Nice manicure, dude.

Cuts down vibration in the bars and helps reduce arm pump.

Whatever, Dick.

Andy Carson, 125 pro.

Welcome to the Phil Rollins Cup, Andy.

Good luck.

Andy Carson?

You made it. Good. It's a pleasure to finally meet you. Heard a lot of good

things about you.

Great. Thanks.

You know, there was a rumor that you broke the leg. I figured you'd be a no

-show. Well... You know what they say about rumors?

They start with a kernel of the truth.

Look, hey, I'm Bob Arness from Phil Rollins Motorsports.

We're the ones putting on this series.

You know, we need to talk. I want to find out about the man beneath the

Excuse me one second.

Bob Arness.

Yes, I'm here at the starters table.

Yes, I was just about... Yes, you're right, you're right. I'll be right

Okay.

My boss.

Fair yet demanding.

We'll do this later.

Man beneath the helmet.

Great.

Yeah, just be yourself.

You mean be you?

Yeah, good point.

And when's your first moto?

It's 20 minutes from now. You know, you better get going.

Oh, and Jason says set the forks two clicks left for the braking bumps.

Well, tell him thanks.

She says thanks.

Man, they should have let me come. You know, they're going to need me sooner or

later. Okay, I'm going to talk to you.

Hi, sweetie.

Did your dad call yet?

Not yet.

Which I'm thinking is probably a good thing right about now.

And is Mrs. Sloan looking in on you?

Oh, good.

Okay, honey, I've got to go.

Yeah, I love you.

Bye -bye.

Excuse me.

I couldn't help notice you were doing your nails.

And, well, I broke one when I was getting in my car, and I was... Say no

I have to speak.

This is so sweet of you.

Ooh.

Uh, hey, Emma.

I'm heading online.

Uh, honey, this is going to have to wait a little bit. You see, this is my

daughter, my son's first big raise.

Oh, that's so sweet. Hi, I'm Angela.

Amy. Nice to meet you.

Um, Mom, why don't you just wait here? I'm sure I'll be fine. Uh, no possible

way. Under no circumstances am I going to miss my boy's USA view.

Besides, honey, I want to help.

Mom, none of the other guys have their moms with them on the starting line.

Besides,

if you want to watch your husband, why don't you just watch him here, okay?

Well, uh, if you're sure.

I'm sure.

Well, race fans, here it is, the first in the six -race Factory Cup Series. The

best riders from all over the state are vying for that Phil Rollins Motorsports

Factory sponsorship.

It is going to be a wild event with a lot of races.

With me today is Keith Allen. He's been on pit road all morning long. Keith.

What's the attitude?

What's the feeling down there in the pit? Well, the pits are abuzz and

everybody's hungry for a slice of that Phil Rollins Motorsports factory money.

Who's going to get it? We're not going to find out until we get through this

series. We've got to crown ourselves a 125 and a 250 champion.

It's going to happen over the next three weeks with the accumulation of points.

Each moto is going to be very important. We'll find out who's going to win this

valuable sponsorship.

The 30 -second board goes up. The start is so critical to this race.

You get hung up in the gate, you might as well be in the trailer.

The hearts are pounding. They can't even breathe right now. Waiting for the

start and they're dropping the hammer and let the gate go down. The board is

finally in the trailer.

It's almost both behind by Hudler and Nicklaus.

And there's Carson all alone bringing up the rear. If he doesn't watch out, he's

going to get lapped by the leaders before this thing is over.

And Henderson Racing's Donnie Barrett is putting a blistering on this race

track. Here he comes.

but I didn't think I was going to be in the way. You finished the race. That's

all that matters. Now you do the same thing on the next seat. You've

accomplished what you came here for.

There she is.

I said to the girls that you did, and they were huffing if you wouldn't mind.

Let's see why not. Looks like we have a very long day ahead.

Did you know I was a trophy girl when I was your age?

Look at that.

That guy shows up for one race, which he gets smoked in, by the way, and he's

got every chick in this place swarming his rig.

What can I say? I guess some guys are just magnets.

You need to chill on Farron Henderson.

I don't know what you're talking about, man.

Need I remind you, she's not only out of your league, that's the owner's

daughter. That's like career suicide.

I must discourage you, amigo.

Never gave it a second thought, Danny.

Oh, my gosh, what a geek.

No, not you, hon.

Hey, dude, maybe you should get the 411 from Carson over there.

Deodorant? Opening lines, maybe? Because whatever he's doing, it's working for

him.

You were great, honey.

You did what you came to do. I came to win, Mom. I should have smoked those

guys.

And we're about five minutes away from the second 250 moto. If you want to

the action, you want to give yourself a great vantage point right now. Get on

down track side. We are getting ready to start.

Going for a walk, Mom.

sweep for Dean Talon of our Henderson Racing.

Man, can this kid ride.

Well, Dean, you've mastered the fact that the gas is on the right.

Congratulations, man. You just smoked the field out there, making it look

easy. What do you think made the difference for you?

First of all, I got off to a great start, Keith.

And my Henderson racing bike was running great. So I'm stoked to get the first

run out of the way. Well, congratulations. You now have to look to

the series. That's just number one in a long line of wins you're going to see

this summer from Art Henderson Racing.

That's Art Henderson himself right there. Not only in the 250, but Donnie

Barrett is going to take the 125.

Can't shake the arm pump from the last moto.

Thought that's what the nail polish was for.

Race secrets don't stay secrets too long around here.

I'm Dean.

Tell him.

Andy. Carson.

Watch, dude. You start winning, everybody's going to be wearing that

Me win?

Yeah, right.

Hey,

you're probably the best guy at your track back home, right?

Pretty much.

So is every rider out here.

These guys are like the top riders at all their home tracks.

One of them might even be the next Emick or McGrath or Windham.

Bye, Andy.

Bye, Dan.

Dude, I don't get it.

They're like women in their 20s.

They don't ever give a 125 guy a look.

Yeah, well, I...

I guess I've always felt that I could relate pretty well to girls.

Well, hey, I better get back to the semi. You know, just make sure

going smooth.

Yeah.

Thanks for everything.

Sure, sure.

Hey,

you wouldn't want to go, you know, check it out or anything. I mean, it's

actually pretty cool.

I feel like I have a week's worth of dirt on me. I'm going to go home and

bath.

Longest bubble bath on record.

Go if you want. I'm in the best part of my book, and I'd just as soon find out

what happens.

I'll be back soon.

Oh, no, take your time, sweetheart.

Hey, dude, let me be the first to salute your superior babe magnetism.

Thanks. So basically you've got, like, enough parts in here to go five square

bikes. Yeah, basically.

Well, then why are you even in the factory sponsorship?

Because factory sponsorship equals factory support.

I mean, we get their expertise on making the bikes go as fast as they can.

Shoot, they spend as much on this fork as we do three bikes.

That's what it takes to win in the stadiums. You know, on TV.

And I was stoked on our rig. Yeah.

How's it going, Laffer? You know, chill out, dude.

Oh, Fern, hey.

This is Carson Andrews.

I mean, Andrew Carson.

He's a 125 rider. He's new.

Hey. Tommy girl, right?

What? Your perfume.

How'd you know?

My sister wears it. It smells a lot better on you, though.

Thanks.

You know better than to bring a competition in here.

Don't worry about it, boss.

There's no competition.

You know, I better get going. We got a gnarly drive home.

Yeah, yeah.

Yo, Andy.

Pull up, man.

Let me guess, you're madly in love with Farron Henderson.

Is it that obvious?

Dude, you're toast.

You're like jello.

I know, man. I want to go out with her so bad.

And? And every time I see her, I just tank it.

You know, it's like coming up on a triple and then just letting off. You

casing it.

Pain, ambulance.

It's a nice visual.

That's why I got a deal for you. A deal?

Look.

If you're going to go compete with those guys, there's some things you've got to

know. And I can teach you.

In return, you're going to have to do something for me.

And that something would be?

Talk to her, dude.

Come on, Danny's right. You are a genius with women.

All you've got to do is get her to go out with me one time. I'll do the rest.

I really would, but I don't even think I'm going to be here for the next couple

of races.

What are you talking about?

Look, I really can't explain, but it's like a freaky family thing.

Well, there's got to be some kind of way that you could just, you know, get her

to... I can't.

But, you know, thanks for giving me the grand tour.

It was really cool.

Yeah.

Okay, I love you.

Bye.

Well, I think that's about the cutest boy ever.

If I wasn't the second cutest boy, I'd actually have a chance.

Is that Daddy?

It was indeed.

Well?

Did he find another rider?

Not yet.

You didn't tell him, did you?

Must have slipped my mind. You know how forgetful I can be.

Honey, you really loved that out there today, didn't you?

Yeah.

Look, I know that I can beat those guys. I just...

I wish I didn't have to quit right now so that I could find out for sure.

Well, young lady, I guess this is one of those defining moments that we're

always talking about.

Defining moments.

Yeah, we all have one of those in our lifetime.

What did you?

Oh, sure.

Yeah, I was just a little bit older than you, and I was singing in this band.

No way.

A way?

Don't look so shocked. I was actually kind of good.

And I loved singing just about as much as you like riding that motorcycle.

Now, unfortunately, your grandmother about had a heart attack when she found

out, and she said if I quit right away, she would never tell Grandpa.

Well, what did you do? I quit right away.

And there hasn't been a day where I haven't wondered about whether I did the

right thing.

Now, on one hand, I did meet the man of my dreams and have the three best kids

on this earth, but I still wish that I could have at least given it a chance.

And I promised myself a long time ago that I would never let my kids give up

their dreams.

So, what do you say?

You up for it? You and I, Carson Racing against the world.

Or at least against the rest of the Southwest.

You're serious?

Absolutely. Now, honey, I've been doing a little reading here, and if we're

going to win this cup, you're going to have to start getting some points.

Don't worry, I know how to make sure that we do.

I'll do it.

Do what?

You got a deal. You hook me up on the track and I'll hook you up with Farron.

All right.

Start now. Get your bike.

It's something the track is like tomorrow's like that way.

You wanted the secret to winning, right?

There it is.

Look, Carson, you know how to make turns and how to jump.

But what you don't know how to do is retrain.

You know, all the different surfaces.

Out here, you learn all that. So when you get on the track, no matter what,

you're ready.

Follow me.

So cute.

Beautiful. I mean, how cool is that?

Well, we didn't come all the way up here just to look at it.

Come on, take your shirt off.

The sun messes with my skin.

You're such a girl, Carson. Come on.

I did not.

Just call me a girl.

Yeah? What you gonna do about it, huh?

Stop!

Oh, that's it, dude. Come here.

Wait. What about her deal, huh?

I'll talk to her later.

Mom, you know how great Andrew is at riding?

Well, that's how bad he is at cooking.

Now, honey, come on. It can't be that bad.

Last night, we had spaghetti that crunched. I mean, it's the first time in

life I've ever actually been afraid of food.

Now, Jason, honey, we're going to be home before you know it, so please, just

whatever you can to help your brother out, okay?

All right.

That's my boy.

I'm on a post -shopping high.

Kind of lose myself.

I kind of know what you're talking about.

You do?

Well, yeah, I saw this thing on the Learning Channel about shopping

Maybe it was shoplifting.

I don't know.

Hey, you're the guy from the races, right?

Uh -huh.

Are you staying here, too?

Yeah.

You know, I'm looking for Dean. You haven't seen him, have you? Why would I

Dean?

I don't know. You guys, like, never hang out or anything?

Me and Dean?

Get real.

Why not?

I don't know.

I guess he's just not my type.

Well, what exactly is your type?

I'm looking for more out of relationship than a guy who never changes out of

motocross T -shirts and jeans and spends every waking moment thinking of

loopholes and knick -knacks.

That's whole shots and knack -knacks.

Whatever.

Well, I mean, at least he's dedicated to something.

Well, I want my guy dedicated to me.

brought it up.

Andy?

Honey,

what in the world are you doing in here?

Look, if I don't see Dean, then I don't have to bum him out about Farron. So if

he comes by, just tell him that I'm not here, okay?

Where would you like me to say you are?

I don't know. Just tell him that I went for donuts or something, okay?

Donuts?

Carson, we know you're in training.

Well, hello there, Dean.

We were actually just talking about how thankful Andy is for you taking time

with him yesterday.

Oh, I had a great time, too, Mrs. Carson.

Well, I'll just leave you two to talk. And gins or chicks or whatever it is you

talk.

I don't think she's right for you. I think you're out of bag.

Are you whacked?

This girl is amazing.

Come on.

Tell me what she said. Come on.

Like... She's not into it.

She's looking for something different.

I don't get it. Like, what's she looking for?

Basically, as far as I can tell, she's looking for a guy who drives an

foreign car and who lives within walking distance of the Galleria.

Well, I can be that guy.

Just give me a chance. Dude, you don't want to be that guy.

You just trust me on this. Forget about her.

Yeah.

You're probably right.

You don't want to help me with the training anymore, you know? No, no, no,

no. But, Carson, you have got major potential.

All right? And tomorrow, I'm going to work you until you can't get off bed.

Thank you.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Is there something weird about that new kid, or is it just my imagination?

And that nail polish helping his arm pop.

What a crock that is.

Give me five or something.

Sorry, dude.

We're a big hugging family, you know?

Garnet, hug.

What happened again?

You're right.

I mean, at least he's different.

Yeah.

Andy Carson, you and I have some important business to attend to.

We do?

Yes, we do. Remember man beneath the helmet?

It's my job to interview every rider in this series. Find a little bit about

them, just in case they come to work for us in the future.

Let me see how you are doing in the standings here, because your chances of

winning are... Well, thanks for bringing it up.

Okay. Just a minute. Hold on. Hello?

Yes, I'm on my way. Welcome to round two of the Phil Rollins Motorsports Factory

Cup. This will be a three -day series where riders will have to do well in

race to make it to the final round and grab the championship cup.

Danny's seven.

Oh, no, it's so rough.

Hey, dude.

Hey, what's up?

Having dinner?

Uh, no. I'm just heading back up to the room.

Hey, congrats on today. Another one won.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's all pretty good.

Then why do you look like someone just knocked you over a firm?

I just can't stop thinking about her.

Man. Oh, it's... It bums me out that I don't even have a chance with her.

Believe me, I know what it's like to want someone that you can't have.

me. You just can't let it get to you. You've got other things that you've got

worry about.

Hey, it's fine.

Okay, honestly, no worries.

Is that what you're telling me you want, is to see Dean and that girl together

happily ever after?

Look, I just, I just want him to be happy, you know?

And if that's what it takes, then yes, that's exactly what I want.

Oh, honey, you've got it bad.

How do you know?

I was in love like this once.

Well, what happened?

Well, then I met your father, and he had more money, so... Mother!

Just kidding.

I'll get it.

Hello? Hey, I just got your message.

You took seven.

Pretty cool, huh?

I think the word is awesome.

Any news from Dad yet?

He called, but no luck of finding anyone.

Hey, I might actually get to finish this thing after all.

Don't get your hopes up.

Knowing him, he'll just show up with some guy without even calling.

Yeah, well, that's not exactly what I wanted to hear.

Hey, I found those Instinct tickets on the kitchen counter. I mean, isn't that

coming up this weekend or something?

You know what?

You can have them.

What am I going to do with them? Guys, do you know what any girl would do for

fifth -row seats?

You know what?

I just changed my mind. Is there any way you can send them to me overnight?

Yeah, sure.

Okay, you have the address, right? Yeah.

What's in the box?

Well, it's like I said before. You and I are Carson Racing, and so far you're

the only one who's been doing any racing around here.

I thought it was about time I started pulling my own weight.

and from Carson Racing continues to charge. Looks like those rookie mistakes

way in the past. Look, kids.

Great race, honey. You finish top two tomorrow, you might actually podium.

Like I knew that could create a pressure.

By the way, Mom, could you do me a favor and please keep the You Go Girls to a

minimum? At least until cheerleading starts again. I'm sorry, honey. I was

so excited.

Not bad, rookie.

Actually looked like you knew what you were doing out there.

Well, which is why I came up with a brilliant plan to repay you for your

advice. What kind of plan?

For Ferris. I discovered a way to change everything around. That is, if you're

still interested.

Yeah.

Yeah, I am.

I do. No way are you getting me to go to an NSYNC concert. I don't care if the

tickets are fifth row.

Do you guys have NSYNC tickets tonight?

Dean does, and get this.

He's actually trying to convince me that they have a couple good songs.

I'm thinking this guy's been bruised in one too many times because those guys

were like... Wait, do you have anybody to go with?

Well, I guess not.

You wouldn't be interested, would you?

I'm supposed to meet my father here. I got a message that he wanted to see me.

Dude, I'll tell your dad what happened. Believe me, I don't think he would want

you to miss an opportunity like this.

Okay, let me just go change into my concert clothes, okay?

Dude, I so owe you.

Yeah, you do.

What are you going to tell her dad?

Her dad's not coming down. I'm the one who left the message for her.

Why do you think she was standing here when we came down?

That's huge.

They've been battling all day long, and it looks like it's going to come down to

the last trip before the flag.

They have in no detail the entire moto, but this time it's been clean.

I never thought their place would feel this good.

We're so dead.

No, it's okay, honey. We'll make your father understand somehow.

We're all through here. Why don't you get packed?

We can talk about this when we get home.

Oh, Edward, this was as much my idea as it was hers.

If we hurry, we can miss the traffic.

Hey, hey.

Not too bad, champ.

Thanks.

Well, aren't you going to ask how my night went?

Yeah, of course.

Dude, it was awesome.

I mean, you know, the concert was kind of lame, but she's totally digging me, y

'all.

Hey.

What's wrong?

Nothing. I'm fine.

Look, whatever it is, you better...

These guys see you like this, it can get really ugly.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

I better get going.

Yeah, and thanks for everything.

Hey, you rode, not me.

Awesome job.

Hey, by the way, thanks so much for hooking me up with Farron.

You're the man.

Get it, Andy. You've never done anything like this before.

Dad, I just don't understand. What is so wrong about it? It's wrong because I

asked you not to do it. I stood right here. I said, stay away from

Especially after what happened to Andrew. You think I want you getting

that or worse?

But, Dad, she podiumed in a pro race. I mean, don't you think that's awesome?

Of course it is. What do you think is going to happen when they find out she's

not only not Andrew Carson, she's his sister?

They're going to take all those points you racked up away. I will be the

laughing stock of the entire racing community.

But, Dad, nobody is going to find out.

I don't want to talk about this anymore.

I'll never understand what you were thinking.

Aiding and abetting in Andrew's little racing cake.

I don't know. It just seemed like a good idea at the time.

In fact, part of me still thinks it was a good idea.

Please, tell me you don't mean that.

Edward, honey, you have all these reasons why she shouldn't race.

There's too much at stake. She is just a girl.

Well, the truth of the matter is, she is just as good as any of those boys.

And as far as her getting hurt, well, if you're willing to allow Andrew to take

that risk...

Don't you think it's a bit hypocritical that you're not also willing to do the

same thing for Andrea?

I love you, honey.

Don't stay up too late.

Big day tomorrow.

If that's a good thing, then yeah.

But if it's a bad thing, then no way.

Can I help you? Bonjour.

I am Rene.

If we have, like, enough Tupperware, why don't you go try next door?

No.

Who was it?

I don't know, some sales guy, but he completely grossed me out.

Why? What was he selling?

I don't know.

Ah, Renee.

Mr. Acosta. It's good to see you again. Welcome, welcome, welcome.

Come in.

Let's see if we can find a family.

Andrew? Jason?

Oh, right here.

Kids?

This is Rene Cartier. He's going to be our new rider for the rest of the

And you must be Andrew.

It's a shame about the leg.

Motocross can be a very dangerous sport, you know.

And this is my wife.

Oh, Madame Carson. I can't tell you how I am looking forward to all of us

working together.

Right. Let's give you the grand tour of the house, shall we?

We'll start with the garage. It's no factory shop, but I think you'd be

surprised.

Is that guy for real?

Cartier.

The name sounds really familiar.

Yeah. I think I read about him, like, on the Internet or in a magazine article

or something.

Look, all I have to say is if that guy kisses my hand again, there's going to

a WWF smackdown in the Carson house.

Jason!

I hope you don't mind.

I need to sleep in a west -facing room so the sun does not wake me.

I'm going to need just the right amount of rest if I'm going to compete at

optimum level.

Why don't you go sleep in the garage? There's never any sun there.

Andrea, can I see you for a minute?

What?

Dad, you told me that's okay. That's my room.

Honey, look.

Put yourself in his position. He's a long way from home. He doesn't know

anybody.

It's going to take us a while to get used to each other. Please, just do this

for me. Please.

What's

going

on? Remember you said his name sounded familiar?

Yeah. Yeah, well, listen to this.

Frenchman Rene Cartier has been bounced from his fifth European team for

unsportsmanlike riding.

Team Moto Hispana has reported that they've terminated Cartier's contract

the rider purposely ran a Spanish racer off the track in the finals of the

European Outdoor Championships.

Oh, no wonder you were available.

Nice wrap.

I hope I'm not interrupting.

Actually, you are.

Well, I'll just leave this then.

What is it?

I've made a list for you of settings and parts I need if we are going to start

practicing tomorrow.

That is, of course, if it's not too much trouble.

Do you have any clue how long this is going to take?

Well, hey, I can do it, Andrew.

You can time me.

If you don't mind, I'd rather you do it, Andrew. No offense, you understand.

Actually, Jason's a much better mechanic than I am. Well, just the same. I

prefer we leave it to somebody who can at least reach the foot pegs.

I'd better get to bed.

I'll need my rest if we are going to start practicing bright and early.

You think, like, anyone in France actually misses him?

Hey.

What was that for?

For everything. For this week. For believing that I could do it.

We did make a pretty good team, didn't we?

The best.

Are you certain you did everything I asked? This doesn't feel like you could

a minibike race.

Well, my sister won on it.

How's he doing?

He's over revving it.

I told him to take it easy until we got the motor broken in.

He's going to blow the top end. I can feel it.

And there it goes.

What are you looking at?

Well, that didn't sound too good, did it?

You'll let me know when it's fixed.

I see you finally figured out where you are most useful to the family.

What is that supposed to mean?

Merci.

I heard all about your illustrious racing career.

It's amazing to me you actually believed you could compete.

I mean, you might be a novelty act if you lapsed at an exhibition between

supercross racers, but with real factory riders.

I'm sorry, did I get you?

Hey, Dad?

Look, I don't mean to be a pain, but how much do you know about this guy?

Son, I know he's had some problems, but I also know he's a good, aggressive

rider.

Right now, that's something we desperately need.

Oh, we're coming on the weekdays.

Good, good.

I'm going to go into town and get us a couple of parts.

You two start practicing on the backup bike while I'm gone, okay?

Well, let's hope this one is waitable.

Where's Andy? Not feeling well. She went to bed early.

I think I'm going to pass on dinner also, if that's all right.

I just don't feel so great.

Yes.

I just need to hurl. Jason!

What?

Me too.

Mom said you were sick.

I mean, this is ridiculous. I could win.

I did win.

Only two races left in our sponsorship series. The 125 sponsorship is up for

grabs. And you know, Art Henderson Racing and Carson Racing are battling

and neck.

Where's Adam Renne?

Registering.

They took Jason with them.

Look, I gotta go run the motor a little.

He says his just doesn't feel right.

No way.

Tell me about it.

This guy knows bikes like I know nuclear physics.

No, I mean, look.

Okay. Hey, that's not... Look, you've got to pretend.

You've got to be me, okay? No, I mean, you've got to be you.

I mean, you've got to be me being you, okay? Because technically, I don't

Why don't I just be me and see how that works out?

Hey, what's up, Andy?

Not much. How about you?

It's all good, man.

Ouch. Wrapping your knee, man.

I don't know. The whole injury flared up.

But we got a new guy to fill in.

Yeah, yeah, I heard about it. It was kind of a whack job, huh? Yeah, tell me.

got him living with us.

Oh,

by the way, this is my sister Andrea. This is Dean, and this is, um... It's

Farron. Hi, I've heard a lot about you. Hi.

I'm Dean.

Hi.

Are you okay?

Yeah, yeah.

Just, uh, you guys look so much alike.

We are twins.

Honey, I think we need to go back to the trailer.

You know how Daddy gets.

Yeah, I do.

I think it was nice meeting you.

And you.

Good luck out there, bro. Sorry if you were riding me to one.

Thanks, man. Yeah.

This is way too bizarre.

Actually, I thought it went pretty well.

This is kind of fun. Maybe I should pretend to be you being me all day.

Well, we don't exactly have a choice now, do we?

Well, Barrett is still in the lead, but the replacement rider for Parks Racing,

Rene Cartier, is living up to his body -banging reputation.

He is so close, pressuring Barrett in every corner. They are heading into the

final few moments of the Mono, and here comes Cartier.

Nice thing underneath the Barrett. Nothing to it. Now Cartier goes to the

inside. Barrett looks over his shoulder. Here comes Cartier. He is ready to make

a move on the outside.

And Barrett.

Rene, congratulations on the win.

You really slammed the door on Barrett there at the end of the race. But now

you're a replacement rider on Team Carson.

What can you tell me about the injured Andrew Carson? That kid, a rookie, but

really showing us some potential.

Well, you know, I don't really know anything about his injury.

I guess all I can say is it's old news, so let's stick to the subject there.

Now, I got a great start today, and I think I really proved to the Carson team

how lucky they are to have a rider like me.

Yeah, but it feels like it's got no top end, man. I mean, I'm still getting

beaten straight away.

Hey, dude, I don't know what to tell you.

How's Barrett?

Um, he's pretty tweaked.

I don't think he's going to race the second heat.

You ever thought about putting the stock pipe back on?

Well, I mean, this track is mostly straight, so this aftermarket pipe has

bottom, but you don't really have to worry about that here. Just make sure

change the jets.

It's not a bad idea.

It's pretty amazing.

You know, I didn't know about the bike like that.

Yeah, well, I grew up around racing.

Yeah, so did my girlfriend, but she doesn't know I had a pipe from a brake

I'll definitely be talking to you soon, Mr. Holmes.

Yeah, well, I hope that works out for you.

Thanks.

Bye.

Dean.

Dean. What are you staring at?

I feel like I know her somehow.

What were you talking about with Henderson about?

Don't walk away from me. Please take your hands off of me.

What were you in the Henderson's trailer for?

It's none of your business. Now back off.

Look, okay, I'm not going to back off. You may have my father full, but I know

exactly what you're about. So once again, I'm going to ask you. What's

I caught him in the Henderson's trailer. It looked like they were making some

kind of deal. I just thought it might be nice to see how a real team operates.

So he was showing me around their trailer. That's all.

Oh, please. You are so making that up. I know for a fact that our Henderson

doesn't do that. Andrea, we have no reason to believe Renee is lying about

something like that. Of course you don't. And I resent being treated like

sort of a criminal.

He's a snake, Dad, and I was just trying to help. If you want to help, go

apologize to him.

Apologize? Honey, we need him to focus. He's never going to be able to if he's

all worked up like this.

I'll see you back at the truck.

Aren't you the one who always said that if something barks like a dog and

scratches like a dog, it probably has fleas like a dog?

Well, that boy is one big spoiled puppy, if you ask me.

fully back you up on that, Mom.

Jason, why don't you check and see if the gas is mixed for the next race?

Man, I never get it.

Edward,

I love you, and I will stand by you until the world comes to an end, which

may very well do today, but you are making a gigantic mistake.

Geneva, you really want to get into this right now?

Okay. Look, if somebody asked you to describe your daughter, what would you

Well, she's beautiful.

Smart.

She gets along with just about everybody. She gets along with just

everybody.

If you won't listen to us, will you listen to what you just said yourself?

Don't feel bad, Dad.

Yeah.

She broke me, too.

Look, all I'm trying to do is help my family out, okay? Your family?

Your family is a joke. Now, I am warning you for the last time. Stay out of my

face. Hey!

Hey! You okay? Dad, I'm just trying to apologize. Wait here. Wait here.

Hey, Cartier!

Look, I am sorry, but I cannot accept our apology.

Yeah, well, that's okay, because it's been withdrawn.

Oh, by the way, you are fired.

Dad, I was a jerk.

No, you weren't.

You were trying to help.

You're doing a great job, by the way.

Really?

Really.

You know, no matter what you might think, when your mom and I were married

we started thinking about kids, I always prayed for a girl.

You did?

Yep.

I always thought that because... Of the racing and everything?

Well, yeah.

Well, it was pretty much the opposite.

When I was racing and I got hurt, I saw a lot of my friends get hurt. I swore

I'd never let my kids go through that. And I thought if we had a girl, that'd

never be a problem.

And then you came along.

Yeah, you did.

Funny thing is, when you have kids, no matter what you'd hope for, you're so

happy they're there and that they're healthy, you forget everything else.

I guess I always held on to the hope that you'd be the one that'd be spared

of the pain or disappointment that comes with this. Dad, but that's part of it.

I mean, if it wasn't for the bad stuff, it wouldn't make winning so great.

You know, I never thought I'd say this, but if it wasn't for you and your

mother, there's no way Carson Racing would have gotten this far.

I'm very proud of you.

I just wish that I could change what happened to Andrew, Dad. I wish that it

me.

Don't even think that.

You're our only hope. We need you healthy.

We ready to go racing?

Mom told me you fired Renee.

Everything's almost loaded.

Well, it's unloaded.

There's still one Carson left who can bring this thing home.

Yeah.

Oh, shoot.

I took the top end out of the practice bike, and I haven't put it back in the

race bike yet.

I mean, we won't have time now.

Oh, how quickly you all give up.

Don't know what real speed's all about, okay?

Remember, don't take your helmet off when they interview you on the Audi.

Well, if I'm being you, who are you going to be? Me?

I'm just going to be another face in the crowd. You ready to go?

What are you doing? Hey, why mess with a winning team?

Yo,

Carson.

What, are you late for the bed already?

Let's just say we got rid of some trash and things are smelling a lot better

around our rig.

Yeah, it got dumped on our front lawn.

Hey, so I wanted to ask you about your sister.

What about her?

Does she, uh, does she like dating anybody?

You know, because if she isn't, I was just wondering... Dude, you have a

girlfriend, okay, remember?

Man, we realize we don't have anything in common.

Besides, I think she has something for French guys anyway.

So what about it, huh?

I'll talk to him.

He's pretty picky, though. Dude, come on, we're bros. Hook me up.

Tell you what.

I'll think about it.

And maybe we can work out some kind of deal.

All right.

Anything. Here we go with the final 12 -lap photo of the 125 pros.

It's between Carson and Art Henderson Racing.

Looks like the game of musical riders isn't quite over with yet.

With Andy Carson taking over from Rene Cartier, who jumped to Art Henderson

Racing in place of the injured Barrett. Don't worry about him, honey. Just...

Drive your race. And Carson's definitely a threat here. I don't know what his

secret is, but he's definitely made one incredible run. Talking about racing for

the win, they are throwing all the stops out, and this is an important one. This

is the big one. Well, the Carson team looking for that factory money, and it's

on the line with the final 12 -lap moto. That's right, Keith. It's going to be a

battle royal for the championship.

the lead back.

It was a trick. It was just the kind of trick a girl would pull. Rene, Keith

Allen from ESPN.

That's pretty harsh right there.

What exactly did you mean by that? Why don't you ask Andrew Carson?

All right. Well, Andrew... No, the real Andrew Carson. He's right behind you.

I don't know what he's talking about.

Obviously, the guy took one to the head.

It's all right, Andrew.

It's time we straighten this whole thing out. Yes, Andrew. Why don't you

straighten this out?

That's right.

I am Andrew Carson.

Well, if you are Andrew Carson, then who's that right there?

Andy.

Andrea Carson.

I knew it.

I knew there was something weird about that kid.

So if you're... You made me believe that you were a guy this whole time. Look,

I'm sorry. I couldn't tell you.

Hey, dude, it's not her fault. I mean, she was just helping out her family. I

trusted you.

I mean, I told you stuff.

She should be disqualified.

It's a joke.

She's a girl.

There's got to be something in the rule book about this.

No, there's nothing.

I just read the rule book again. There's not one thing that says a girl can't

race.

What about having an unregistered rider racing for you? What's it say about

that? She registered. Andy Carson.

This is Andrea Carson.

Andy for short.

So, Andy, how does it feel to be the first female to win a major motocross

event?

Amazing. It was a family win, though. I mean, my dad and my brother put together

my bike and my mom ran my pit.

And my little brother Jason did a full top -end rebuild between races.

So you think the factory's going to stand behind the rules and give you the

sponsorship? You know what? There's Bob Arness right there. Let's see what Phil

Rollins Racing has to say.

Well, we're going to... Excuse me.

I think I can answer that.

I'm Barbara Rollins, senior vice president in charge of racing.

Well, Miss Rollins, what do you say?

Andy going to be a full factory -sponsored rider this time next year?

You must be joking.

After everything this young woman did, the way she masqueraded as her brother,

After what she went through?

A woman who came out on top in a man's sport.

You think we'd let her sign with anyone but us?

And I'll do you one better.

We're going to give the whole Carson team a concert.

more good news our factory support budget just came in and guess what we

hire a 250 writer that's awesome we should start looking

Why?

Try out?

Absolutely. You don't think we're just going to hand it to you, do you?
